How to Make Soft Paneer/Chhana at Home

How to Make Soft Paneer/Chhana at Home

Description :

Paneer is one of the most neutral ingredients in Indian cooking, which makes it ideal for use in a wide array of curries. A good paneer must be well formed and not crumbly. Its structure shouldn’t be too tight, otherwise it will become tough and not absorb any curry.

While paneer is especially adored among aficionados of some branches of north Indian cuisine in particular—it is the vegetarian’s delight—its close cousin ‘chhana’ (or ‘chhena’) holds a special place in Bengali cooking. From being the base for all manner of Bengali sweets (sondesh, roshogolla, anyone?), it is also used to make chhana’r torkari, a curry with mildly spiced chhana koftas, which is a beloved delicacy.

Of course, cubes of fresh paneer are also used in Bengali curries. In this video, we show you how to form and cut paneer perfectly, and also link you to our special recipe for paneer’er dalna in the end!

  • Aren't you supposed to wash the curds to get rid of excess vinegar? I'm trying to find a recipe where the paneer doesn't crumble easily. Looks like keeping it in the fridge is the answer?

  • I’ve heard one method of boiling the paneer in salt water before making curry. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Apparently it enhances taste of paneer.
